Abstract
The thermoelectric properties of the heavy fermions YbT2Zn20(T = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) and YbAgGe have been investigated as a function of magnetic field and temperature. Measurements of the thermodynamic and transport properties of YbPtBi suggest that a quantum critical point may be induced by an applied magnetic field.
